Leicester Wedding Photography
Capturing your love story naturally
Why Leicester is the perfect setting for your wedding
Leicester is a city that's rich in history, culture, and breathtaking venues that provide the perfect backdrop for stunning wedding photography. Whether you're planning an intimate ceremony or a grand celebration, the city offers a range of picturesque locations, from historic estates to modern urban spaces.
As a documentary wedding photographer in Leicester, I specialise in capturing the unscripted moments that truly tell the story of your day. My approach ensures your wedding photos are filled with raw emotion, real laughter, and meaningful connections, allowing you to relive every moment for years to come.
What is documentary wedding photography?
I am often asked this question. Unlike traditional wedding photography that focuses on posed portraits, documentary wedding photography is all about capturing real moments as they naturally unfold. From the anticipation before the ceremony to the evening celebrations and fun and laughter on the dance floor, I work discreetly to document the true essence of your wedding day.
Why choose a documentary wedding photographer?
Whilst I do capture those magazine worthy couple shots and always ask you to let me have a list of those, 'must have' group photos, the focus is always on capturing the moments as they happen. Even during these types of photos, I will have you focus on one another and honestly, the best group shots are those taken in between while everyone is trying to get it together or chatting and laughing amongst themselves.
The photos speak for themselves and here's some good reasons to choose a documentary wedding photographer:
Authentic & Natural
No forced smiles or awkward poses - just genuine, heartfelt moments.
Stress-Free Experience
Enjoy your day without the constant interruption for staged shots or lengthy photo sessions.
Emotionally Powerful Images
Every photo tells a part of your unique wedding day and your own love story.
Attention to the Details
From stolen glances to joyful tears, I capture it all.
Leicester wedding venues that make stunning backdrops
Leicester boasts a variety of wedding venues that offer beautiful settings for your special day. Here are some top picks:
The Belmont Hotel
An iconic Leicester hotel based in the heart of the city alongside the pretty New Walk. The Belmont Hotel is a great central location with lots of options for your ceremony and reception. And the perfect spot for photographs on New Walk.
Kilworth House Hotel
A stunning Victorian country house with elegant gardens. Kilworth House has a beautiful orangery that is perfect for your afternoon and evening reception. Drinks reception usually takes place on the terrace overlooking the beautiful grounds.
Belvoir Castle
A fairy-tale venue with breathtaking views and historic charm. Belvoir Castle is set on a hill and is the perfect setting for a wedding.
Prestwold Hall
A grand Georgian mansion with luxurious interiors. This stunning stately home is immaculately kept. Prestwold Hall has many options for wedding celebrations, from glamorous indoor rooms to the outdoor gazebo set amongst the rose gardens.
The City Rooms
A chic and sophisticated venue in the heart of Leicester. The City Rooms has lots of options from huge grand weddings to smaller, more intimate affairs.
Mythe Barn
A rustic yet modern barn surrounded by countryside beauty. Mythe Barn is idyllic, unique and the perfect location for a wedding celebration.
How to choose the right Leicester wedding photographer
With so many photographers to choose from, finding the right one for your wedding can feel overwhelming. Here are some key things to consider:
STYLE & PORTFOLIO
Make sure their work aligns with the vision you have for your wedding. I always say to people, it's a feeling, rather than a thought. You'll just 'feel it' when you look at wedding photography that is what you are hoping for.
Experience & Reviews
Check testimonials and read reviews on different platforms to ensure you're working with a trusted professional. Wedding photographers will not mind you asking to see previous work or what previous wedding couples have to say about them.
Personal Connection
Have a phone conversation and if you aren't sure, meet with the photographer to see if you feel comfortable.
Custom Packages
Just as we are all different, so too is your wedding day. One size doesn't fit all and so look for flexible pricing and coverage options to suit your needs.
